Long time reader, first time poster.
I have a Newport 17. I am looking to replace the vinyl/rubber pad from the bow windshield. I do not know the proper nomenclature and would appreciate any guidance on where to find this piece. (Taylor was a "no.")

The Newport 17 has a approximately 10 inch wide windshield that wraps around the bow. The windshield sits in this rubber double channel weather stripping that I cannot find ANYWHERE. When the boat is clean it looks new, except for this nasty, moldy piece.
Any thoughts?

Good question! Can I ask you to report off list if you find a solution?

Easiest would be to spray dye it white or tan but this thread is 3yrs old so I assume he found something.
